This applies specifically to Jaywick, Essex. It doesn't apply to the whole of Essex. I lived in Colchester, Essex for a few years, and it certainly isn't deprived. Essex is a lovely place to live for people who like a coastal life close to the beach, but Jaywick specifically is a notorious slum populated mainly by inbreeders and drug misusers.

inbreeders like you?

All major city has slum, the rich needs the poor to work for them, the poor needs the rich to pay them, and of course the poor can't afford the over expensive rent on real estate in the major cities, thus slums.

God bless you for this.
Here in Abuja, in Gwarimpa, there is Gwarimpa village which is dominated by the lower class of people who majority of them work for the rich people.
You go to Maitama Abuja, there is a place called *gishiri" which is also dominated by the Lower class people who also work for higher class of people who reside in maitama. Even kubwa that's still underdeveloped still has its own slum called "kubwa village" which is dominated by people who are financially lesser than those staying in the main town of Kubwa.

So it's just like that. The rich needs the poor to work for them, to progress their businesses while the poor need money for sustainability.

It is not that they won't be built with d house, but still some lifts will be broken and left unfixed...abeg go to Jo'burg my brother, u go fear fear now.

As for d fire disaster i mentioned...take 4 example d Grenfell Tower fire in London last yr dat claimed about 79 lives (plus about two similar ones in d UK last yr)...in a country with stricter safety precautions 4 dat matter...not to talk of Hong Kong

See bro, if the elevator is broken down and not fixed that's a different case entirely.

The first apartment I lived in when I got to Dubai was just a 3 story building and it had lifts and I didn't even see the staircase until I was about to vacate the building. The elevator never broke. That's good maintenance culture.

Second, compare the number of fires that you've heard occurring in skyscrapers to the number of skyscrapers there actually are in the world and you'll realize that the ration is insignificant.

It's just like saying air travel is unsafe because you've heard and seen plane crashes.

But when you compare the number of flights that occur everyday around the world with the number if actual air mishaps then you'd be surprised that traveling by road with a car or bicycle is even more dangerous than air travel.

Funny enough they still enjoy constant power supply and clean water and not everyone living in those slums live from hand to mouth

I still prefer slums in Europe to this Zoo called Nigeria undecided

How about being the richest ones too in the world

[s]Eg Dharavi slum Mumbai also has something else: A GDP estimated at as much as $1 billion. Nationmaster lists 24 countries with GDPs smaller than that.

(and that is just what is reported to the taxing authorities) and of year 2011.

as of 2016 GDP is estimated excess of 2.8 billion dollars (unofficial sources). imagine that for a slum.

There r more the 20,000 small scale manufacturing being units run inside the slum.

And they export their goods to US , Europe , Africa , middle East etc

As for ur conclusion regarding them being the dirtiest and what not , how many slums did u visit worldwide to come to u r assumption ?

There's nowhere in Accra where people live on water.

It's only in nigeria where such things are found.

I'm not saying there are no slums in Ghana .
There are a lot but this one in particular is not Accra but Lagos.
Ogbeni you're the ignorant here. She has already explained how googling works to you but you insist on ignorance.

You wan console yourself. Just because Abuja and Lagos get slums, you think say everywhere Na the same.

Show me a slum in New York or Miami or any Major city in Europe.

Is Madrid not a major city in Europe?... View the photos again and see the slum in Madrid... The dude is right...every city in the world got a slum, there's no country in the world were everyone is a millionaire, not all that glitters is gold, Dont be deceived by all CNN want you to see in 'fine' America.
